How much gh is released from working out legs?

[sk*]

We always hear that working out legs releases the greatest amount of gh since it is the biggest musclegroup, but how would the amount released compare to back? chest? etc?

A significantly larger amount. Large amounts of muscle being stimulated stimulates the body to produce extra test and gh. How many reps and time under tension also determine how much you release of these hormones you get as well as the amount of rest you get in between sets.

Are the legs really that much bigger than the back?

About 2/5 to even half of your overall muscle mass in in the legs.

Okay, so how much more gh would be released if you workout your legs as opposed to not working out? I am sure the difference isn't too much.

aren't we being a pest tonight. remember also, you hit your hams/glutes/quads/calves and to a lesser degree shoulders and arms and all when you squat. as well as kick your metabolism into overdrive. you know how it feels after squats when you can't breathe....then the next day your ass and quads and hams hurt like a bitch. your hitting like 3/4 of your muscle mass with squats.
